Still a Catholic Priest.

Y'all ordained him. He's yours. Straight. Gay. Trans. Matters not. He is a Roman Catholic Priest.

No faith is immune to sexual predators. Not a one. You should be ashamed of yourself for reply. Want me to show you stats that show more sex abuse occurs in protestant and jewish denominations. I didn’t think so.

The Catholic Church has reported about 228 cases of sexual predation by clergy since 1950, including ALL potentially creditable cases, worldwide.

Which is less than the number of cases reported per year to just 3 major insurance companies per year starting in 2007, related to Protestant churches in the US alone. (http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2007/06/18/80877.htm)

There are likely many more going unreported, especially considering that (http://www.abpnews.com/archives/item/6956-news-analysis-churches-not-typically-first-reporters-of-sexual-abuse) Southern Baptist Churches rarely fess up on their own.

I agree, false doctrine does breed corruption.
